More Welding - Battery Racks

I am continuing on with welding and installing the front and rear battery racks. Progress has been slow this month but at least I can call it progress.

Body work has begun

I am so happy to see this phase underway. I have a friend - Rick - who studied bodywork at the local tech college. I figure he has 30+ hours to get the whole car looking like the passenger door. There is quite a bit of body filler on this car. So after it is all sanded out we will be doing more filler work. And after that some primer.
The good news is that there are only a few sheet metal patches to replace rusty metal - Probably on the front fenders.
There was some rusted out metal in the front wheel wells. There are some pics showing where I cut and ground out the rust. These should be easy to patch since they are on the underbody and won't show from the exterior of the car.
